16. I don't need to read DU when Murphy Brown is rerunning nightly

Fri May 22, 2026, 02:17 AM

May 22

on Rewind TV and every single fucking issue from 1987-1995 is EXACTLY THE SAME as it now in 2026!!!!!

I am NOT kidding. I could watch any episode and the same GOP talking points, the same issues, the same parties and NOTHING is any different 40 years later. I want to puke!!!!!

The USA has NOT changed since 1987 and it will not change! Assholes with money rule the USA and that is a constant. I was born in 1962 and my entire life has been ruled and ruined everything since. I was born on July 3 in Phila and was always a proud patriot and celebrated our country's history and values.

I was able to vote in 1980 when I turned 18 and I AM PISSED OFF!!!!!!! I have voted in every damn election (local, state and federal) down ballot for Dems every time!

I taught my 1st grade students how to vote for 15 years and we voted for every issue in my classroom the way real elections are held. I've done SO much yet the damned GOP has had the $$$$$$ to control everything, I have no power but to vote.

Life in the USA sucks!!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ rules everyone and everything. I am so glad I chose not to have kids or else I'd feel even shitier...if that were possible.

I HATE what the GOP has done to destroy MY COUNTRY!!!!! MY COUNTRY!!!!!!
